For months, Biden had insisted on staying in the race for the presidency. He claimed he was both mentally and physically capable, right for the job, and would “save our democracy.” Despite the media coverups and far-reaching loyalties by his own party, Republicans could always see how Biden has failed Americans and was unfit from […]

Farmers across the nation face a vicious attack on their farms and freedom. As a poultry farmer, cattle rancher, the President of the Alabama Contract Poultry Growers Association, and a patriotic American, I feel it is my duty to warn my countrymen against the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, H.R. 4417/S. 2019. This perilous […]

The time has come for the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) to fulfill its promise and deliver medical cannabis to the patients in Alabama who have been waiting far too long. This delay is not just an administrative failure but a critical issue impacting the health and well-being of countless individuals in our state. In […]

When Governor Kay Ivey asked me to serve as Director of the Alabama Department of Community Affairs (ADECA), she made one thing clear – a top priority of her administration is to ensure that every single Alabamian will have the ability to access high-speed internet. That is a noble goal indeed, given that in a […]

As Republicans from around the country gathered in Milwaukee, you could feel the optimism about our nation’s future and the upcoming election in the air. We are thankful that divine intervention saved our nominee, former President Donald J. Trump, from a bullet that was intended to kill him.  Following the assassination attempt, President Trump’s resiliency […]

As the Republican National Convention unfolds this week, you will see all the GOP stars on stage and featured all week, especially on Fox News. You will probably not see one of the former potential rising political show horses featured or interviewed. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem may be there but will be shunned and […]

We’ve all seen the headlines coming out of Montgomery in the last few months. Someone gets killed or seriously injured, the mayor holds a press conference blaming everyone but himself, until the next violent incident, where it just repeats itself. We’re only halfway through 2024, and there have already been at least 35 homicides and […]

Saturday was a sad day for President Trump, the Trump family, and America because 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate President Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While many of the details are still not clear, investigators are working hard to continue uncovering the details and Crooks’ specific motives. By the grace of […]

I’ve never understood why Donald Trump seems to attract such a level of hatred and vitriol. There is nothing unusual about political candidates being vilified by opponents, but after an election or a term in office, the level of animosity usually subsides, and attacks focus on policy decisions and not as much on personality. I […]

Whether the rich pay their fair share of taxes remains contentious. Regardless of your position on this, accurate numbers on the rich’s current tax burden should inform this discussion. I will consider percentages of Federal individual income tax revenue from Tax Foundation analysis of IRS data. These numbers are sometimes inaccurately described as of all […]

One of the most fundamental rights and privileges of the United States is the right to vote. Our elections depend on fairness and lawful voting to reflect the will of the people. Recently, our election system has been seriously flawed, affecting how Americans are represented. The rise of immigration and lack of border security from […]

It is no secret that many in Democratic and media circles have admitted that President Biden’s debate performance was an epic disaster. They know President Biden looked old, weak, and diminished, which has been evident to most of us for months now. Truthfully, the Democratic elites and their media allies have known all along that […]

Facing against the river current, the boat drifted slowly backward, despite the whirling trolling motor prop slashing to gain headway against the flow. As the boat glided past a hump 50 feet below, the rod tip twitched ever so slightly. Then, the stout rod bent over double as a river monster inhaled the offering. Big […]

Now that we are midway through the year, allow me to share some thoughts on Alabama political events. There have been some significant elections already this year in the Heart of Dixie as we await a titanic presidential election in the fall. The race for the newly drawn Second Congressional district has been the major […]

July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the most pivotal moment in our nation’s history. The execution of this declaration marked our independence from Great Britain and laid the foundation for the creation of the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “We hold these truths […]

Remember when Americans only argued about baseball or who had the best hot dogs—Chicago or New York? Those were the salad days. Photo by Tom Greene As we approach the 4th of July, an American holiday loaded with baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie, I’m mindful of the ties that bind us together as a […]

On Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on President Trump’s immunity from charges related to the unfair 2020 election and his role during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Jack Smith, the lead prosecutor of this Washington case, argued that Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election and charged the former President […]

Five hundred years ago, peasants in Central Europe revolted against their overlords. Inspired by the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther’s confrontation with church hierarchy, peasants staged an insurrection which challenged the socio-economic order. This revolt would have a lasting impact on Europe and set the stage for future conflicts between the elite aristocracy and the […]

Our first president, George Washington, advised that America should not have political parties. Washington was a very wise man. His leadership solidified the beginning of the bedrock of our Democracy. He was one of, if not our greatest presidents.   If he were here today to observe the bitter, tremendous, partisan divide in our nation, he […]

As the Fourth of July approaches, family cookouts are in full swing. Thanks to Biden’s inflation crisis, these celebrations cost 30 percent more than they did five years ago. Staples like hamburger buns, ground beef, hot dogs, baked beans, chips and ice cream all cost more, and general grocery prices are up an average 21 […]

For the 90%+ of Alabamans who either prefer driving a gasoline vehicle or can’t afford an electric vehicle, the Biden Administration is working to regulate an EV into your garage in the near future. The Environmental Protection Agency and the obscure National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are both enacting regulations clearly aimed at forcing U.S. […]

It is no secret our southern border is out of control. When President Biden came into office, our border was intact with policies to stop migrants from entering and staying in our country illegally. Now, under Biden we have had over 9.6 million illegal immigrant encounters nationwide, and the vast majority of these are at […]

As former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Sam Rayburn once said, and I’ll paraphrase, “Any fool can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.” In our political landscape today, from Washington, D.C. down, we have plenty of folks kicking down barns, but not nearly enough carpenters building […]

If you turn on your TV, the media and Democrats won’t stop telling you that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy that must be stopped at any cost. He is “a convicted felon” who wants to undermine our elections. The truth is the kangaroo court in New York that railroaded the former president has […]
